Today, I feel...

...Jittery
I think I need to cut back on the coffee. I'm not drinking much more than I used to but lately, after the second cup, I've been getting the jitters - something fierce. The stress of a new job, selling the house, relocating, and thinking about leaving the family and friends behind may be contributing also. It's all good though. I think we'll find our way back someday. Or, we could end up on Bainbridge Island, which is always in the running for best place to live in the U.S.....then, we'll invite people to come up our way... ;-)

...Stuffed
Went to Baja Fresh for lunch. Now, I've been there in the past and had the salad that filled me up for, like, 20-minutes. I've also had the Baja Burrito, which, since it's the signature burrito, you'd think was filling...not. This time, I ordered the Burrito Dos Manos (two hands) - steak. I was pretty hungry but I didn't expect my lunch to come in a shopping bag! That was a big burrito. I ate about 3/4 of the burrito at noon and was still full at dinner time.

...Hot!
I went to get my haircut today. Man! I hate that vinyl sweat wrap they put around you. It feels like 100-degrees under there. That, coupled with the nervousness of the "stylist" cutting your hair they way they want instead of the way that you want, and the sweat flows freely. Today, I'm sure that my shirt back looked the same way it did when I drove my old dark blue Mitsubishi pickup truck with vinyl seats and no AC home from work at 5:00 on a July afternoon...good thing I used deoderant this morning....

...Sore
Of course, I know better than to go all out in the gym unless I'm on a regular routine (which is difficult with the new job, travel, etc.). Yet everytime I go, I try to go heavier and more intense - than I ever have before!! Sure, trying to go a little bit harder than the previous workout is a worthy goal but , nooooo, I go all out - especially at my home gym - Gold's Gym Natomas - which is a very nice gym with all new equipment. Now, if I could just raise my arms to scratch the itch on my head...

...Happy
I got off work a little early today to get my haircut and got home by 4:30. So, I was able to spend a little extra time with the family. The kids were in a pretty good mood, which meant that Lisa and I were in good moods too...

...Like laughing
The creator of the Dilbert cartoon, Scott Adams, now has his own blog called the Dilbert Blog. Over the past couple of days, he posted about the death row inmate who escaped from the Texas prison. Hilarious stuff...

...Sick
Still can't get over that Raiders loss yesterday....
